Thirteen-year-old Katie is an unwilling summer guest in the Victorian home of her Halifax grandparents. All she wants to do is stay in her attic bedroom and brood. Disgruntled over her new stepmother’s pregnancy and how a baby might affect her life, Katie takes refuge in her dreams of playing the part of the disagreeable orphan Mary Lennox in the upcoming school production of The Secret Garden.

When Katie sees a shadow on her bedroom wall of an old-fashioned girl holding a flower, she tries to convince herself it is caused by moonlight. But the girl reappears and shares her life with Katie, reaching across the years to her. Is she a ghost? As Katie searches for some tangible evidence of the girl’s presence, she discovers a package of letters from World War I containing clues to a bygone time when British orphans were sent to Canada as Home Children.

In this haunting journey of a young girl looking for answers and an orphan girl from the past who tries to provide them, award-winning novelist Irene N. Watts uncovers a tale about the real meaning of family.

Irene N. Watts is a writer and a playwright who has worked throughout Canada and Europe. She is a life member of the Playwrights Guild of Canada. Her play “Lillie” based on her novel, Flower, was awarded first prize in UNESCO’s Biennial Playwriting Award for Adolescents in 2006. She is also the author of three award-winning novels about the Kindertransport; Good-bye Marianne, Remember Me, and Finding Sophie, which have all been published in the United Kingdom and translated into Italian.
